Fabled Intercepts Gold Bearing Sheeted Vein Structure Over A True Width of 150 Meters
Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF) has released promising results from its 14,200-meter diamond drilling program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico. CEO Peter J. Hawley highlighted the discovery of a new sheeted vein structure with a true width of 150 meters, indicating a robust gold mineralization system. Notable intercepts from drill holes SM20-25, SM20-26, and SM20-27 included multiple veins grading over 0.50 g/t gold, enhancing the understanding of the area's mineral potential. Future drilling is planned to further refine the structural interpretation.
- Discovery of a new sheeted vein structure with a true width of 150 meters enhancing mineral potential.
- Drill hole SM20-25 intercepted 12 gold-bearing veins with grades over 0.50 g/t gold.
- Drill hole SM20-26 intercepted 9 gold-bearing veins exceeding 0.50 g/t gold.
- Drill hole SM20-27 showed a decrease in the density of gold-bearing veins, with only 3 grading over 0.50 g/t gold.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2021 / Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV:FCO)(OTCQB:FBSGF)(FSE:7NQ) is pleased to announce an update to the results of diamond drilling from the upgraded 14,200 meter drill program on the 'Santa Maria' Property in Parral, Mexico.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, 'We are pleased to announce drill assay results for surface diamond drill holes SM20-25, SM20-26 and SM20-27, please see Figure 1 below.'
Mr. Hawley continues: 'From hitting a lower feeder zone 75 meters to the east, and now hitting a sheeted vein structure with a true width of 150 meters, adds to our understanding of the robust multi-phase plumbing system that is the driver of the Santa Maria mineralization.'
Preamble
A sheeted vein structure is a hydrothermal, intrusive related set of parallel quartz sulphide veins spatially associated with a near by intrusive. They are closely spaced, distinct parallel fractures or veins filled with mineralization and separated from one another by thin screens or areas of barren country rock. Typically, they become closer and closer together, mineralized and an increase in silification will be seen as the drilling approaches the intrusive body, which is the source of the mineralization.
Given these new assay results displaying this sheeted gold domain system, we once again find ourselves refining the interpretation of structural controls as seen in Figure 1, which is an isopac contour of gold grade multiplied by thickness.
Figure 1 - Longitudinal View of Area of Current Drilling
The fence of drill holes SM20-25, 26 and 27 are located 75 meters to the west of drill collars SM20-22, 23, 24 and were designed to once again tighten up the interpretation of the boundaries of the new Santa Maria gold structure with respect to the lower feeder intercept in hole SM 20-23, which reported 18.64 oz silver Eq per tonne, 437.8 lb. of lead per tonne, 113.96 lb. of zinc per tonne and 28.38 lb. copper per tonne over a width of 0.80 meters.
The drill holes were targeted to intercept the structure at vertical depths of -170, -225, and -290 meters, respectively. The interpreted mineral / structural thesis, which includes gold mineralization, is plunging 45 degrees to the west, has thickened to a true width of 150 meters, and continues to validate our prior interpretation. The gold domain system remains open in all directions.
SM20 - 25
Any vein sheet, whether micro or macro in size, grading greater than 0.50 g/t gold is highly anomalous in this type of system and must be paid attention. As seen in Table 1, a total of 12 gold bearing sheeted veins were intercepted that graded greater than 0.50 g/t gold. An intensely silicified breccia zone was encountered in the middle of the sheeted vein structure.

FUTURE DRILLING UPDATE
The fence of drill holes SM20-28, 29 and 30 are located another 75 meters to the west of drill collars SM20-25, 26 and 27 and have been designed to again tighten up the interpretation and lower gold domain boundary of the new Santa Maria gold structure, see Figure 1 above.
Drill holes SM20-25 - 29 have been completed and submitted for assay. Hole SM20-30 is in progress and sites for holes SM20-31 to 36 are planned, subject to future assays results, and revisions to the structural interpretation.
QA QC Procedure
Analytical results of sampling reported by Fabled Silver Gold represent core samples that have been sawn in half with half of the core sampled and submitted by Fabled Silver Gold staff directly to ALS Chemex, Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Samples were crushed, split, and pulverized as per ALS Chemex method PREP-31, then analyzed for ME-ICP61 33 element package by four acid digestions with ICP-AES Finish. ME-GRA21 method for Au and Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight.
Over Limit Methods
For samples triggering precious metal over-limit thresholds of 10 g/t Au or 100 g/t Ag, the following is being used:
Au-GRA21 Au by fire assay and gravimetric finish with 30 g sample.
Ag-GRA21 Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish.
Fabled Silver Gold monitors QA/QC using commercially sourced standards and locally sourced blank materials inserted within the sample sequence at regular intervals.
